I ran into this 3rd issue shortly after my previous post, but noticed Kein-Hong Man had already alluded to it in his post.When cross-compiling with i586-mingw32msvc-gcc from Linux, you can add a "-lmsvcr80" or "-lmsvcr90" after the "$(AR) $@ $?" (or add change it in a gcc "specs" file), which will link against msvcr80.dll/msvcr90.dll, which do have these functions. Example:
So my primary concern is breaking of out-of-the-box MinGW compilation experience. I was wondering what setup the supplier of that patch used...
But MinGW is very much a jury-rigged thingy, so I feel rather neutral about these things. The lowest common denominator, traditional msvcrt.dll, does shackle MinGW to a rather low, obsolete baseline. If we want to stick to >=msvcr80.dll, then perhaps some platform notes also need to be squirreled somewhere.
